They offered you a selection of products, one of which you picked (as you might have guessed from the title of this blog, I took the cookies that were on offer). You receive a voucher allowing you to get this product free as well as another one to spend on other tesco branded products.
Now to be honest, when someone suggests Free From, automatically I’m thinking that it tastes a bit bland and cardboardy. Unfortunately, I can’t show you a picture of what the cookies looked like but you can have the box (in case you want to go look for them and try them yourselves).
Why can’t I show you the cookies? Because they didn’t last! They weren’t what I thought they were going to be. They actually reminded me of chocolate covered hobnobs and felt very more-ish (hence why they didn’t last!) Even my mum, who also had the preconception that they would be tasteless enjoyed them. We’re even considering trying other Free From products after this little experiment (and that’s something I didn’t think I would be saying).
As for the other voucher? Well, we’re quite happy buying Tesco branded products, even if it is to see how they are on par with what we would usually buy. Most of the time, there isn’t that much of a difference between branded and store-own (although I do draw the line at beans, tomato sauce & tomato soup: that always has to be Heinz!) apart from maybe price. The last product we switched was from Kellogg’s Raisin Wheats to Tesco’s own. The only different really is in the size but still the same great taste!
